Day 197
Hi!
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while (been told off by a couple of people!) but I have had my nose firmly entrenched in text books for the last week or so. I have gotten through 3 exams and have my last one this afternoon at 2.15pm. I will definitely be having a sneaky wee drink tonight when I get home! I am quietly confident about the ones I have sat and today’s one is Business Law which is open book and I have done very well in the assignments so am not particularly worried. I think it helps that I have had 10 years in the Police to help me interprete the law. (won’t be funny if I now go and fail it!)
Liam is good, I have noticed him getting very tired lately, so of course the old cancer radar pops up and I start to worry about everything from his breathing to his nose to his leg. I went through the same thing with Matt for the 2 odd years he spent tumour free with thinking everything was tumour related. I guess I will get used to it again. Realistically he is probably going through another growth spurt – just what we need, him growing out of more clothes, I am struggling to feed him enough to keep up with his height as it is! The boy has hollow legs, but I will be getting onto the oncologists to book him in for his next chest xray soon.
He is also having a couple of problems with his leg/ankle where the bone and tissue graft were taken. I was watching him playing sport on Monday night and noticed him roll his ankle 3 times in the space of about 5 minutes. It doesn’t seem to hurt him but if he continues doing it he will do some damage. I need to get onto the Orthotics centre after these exams are over and put a bullet up their backsides. His splint was supposed to be ready 3 weeks ago, I can’t believe these people make things so hard for us.
We meet the new oncologists for Wellington this weekend, at the zoo of all places! We get to have a wander round the zoo and then have an afternoon tea with them to introduce ourselves. It will be good to finally have some cohesion and consistency up here.
Well I best be off and do some more study, I am going to be a very happy little camper at approximately 5.15 tonight!!!

Hi Becs
Did you have any more thoughts on Christmas. If you let me know your thinking if we can accommodate (get the pun) we are happy to. I am out of the office for a few days now so no rush. Regards Jane

Yo crazy Mum of Liam, Liam is being the star that he is and you are out of this world too! Liam has some awesome looking eyes – you can so fall into the beautiful brown pools of heaven then add that winning smile too – wow watch out ladies. As for the boring swot of a Mum …. Awesome too – you are great, although I have no wish to look into your eyes unless it is for a truthful answer of one steak or 2 on the BBQ? (Only with a severe weather warning of course). Hugs as always,whinging Pom
